Streaming HD on a 10Mbps works flawlessly. Just finished watching about 3 episodes of The Office in HD on NXE. Streams in at 1080p according to my TV. Looks really good too... Not quite Blu-Ray quality, but still quite sharp for an internet stream. I'm very impressed.
the 1080p is the connection between your XBOX 360 and your TV, not necessarially the resolution of what is being shown through Nextflix.
I am well aware, but there are no indicators saying whether it is interlaced or progressive streams. According to my router logs, the interface that my xbox connects to pulled in 5.9GB for 5 episodes of The Office in HD.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21615337 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:33:23 EDT Re: Netflix and the XBox 360 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21615274 sameshtdd :

Exactly. It's all speculation.

They called the HD quality of a Heroes episode "stunning" ...

Video quality was excellent on our end, with SD content looking terrifically watchable. A small perk -- but huge deal as far as we're concerned -- is the inclusion of a limited amount of HD content. We previewed Heroes in HD, and the quality was stunning. Right now there's only about 300 titles on offer, but we think after folks get a taste of this, they'll be begging for some expansion.

If the reports of the movie sizes at 4-6GB are correct, then the they'll stream at 4-8Mbps which is great quality for WMV9 VC-1 HD content. I do a LOT of video conversion to WMV9 VC-1 at those bitrates and it's gorgeous.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21410029 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:18:19 EDT Re: Netflix and the XBox 360 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21407915 imrf : Exactly.

I do know one thing; the Roku will feature higher video quality using the same bandwidth, or the same video quality at a lower bandwidth, since it'll be using better, more up-to-date, and more efficient codecs than the 360....that said, the 360 will give me a ball-park idea.
Nobody knows for sure yet, thats kind of a wild guess. Seeing as the update could have the same if not better codecs and codec support than the Roku, the 360 could be better. Until the update is released and someone does a side-by-side comparison, it's only a guess.
sure, but I also listen to what has been said, a well: »www.hackingnetflix.com/2008/11/r···-to.html

the Roku is Netflix's flagship device that they push (though they themselves did not make it), because of the price and availability; don't be surprised if it gets more special treatment.

What do they expect if people want to use these services that Microsoft and Sony provide. Even on the newer HD DVR boxes from a tv provider they have movies on demand that you download to your box and view it on the tv. Verizon Fios needs to become available for all these people who are restricted to a dumb cap so they can kick Comcast in the ass.
